We saw brilliant photonic designs dying in simulation hell.

After years of watching breakthrough photonic designs get buried under manual calculations, stuck in endless simulation loops, or abandoned when the one engineer who understood them moved on, we knew something had to change.

"The world is betting its future on photonic chips - for AI acceleration, quantum computing, autonomous vehicles, and sustainable data centers. But the tools to design them are stuck in the 1990s. We're changing that."

- Riaan Kleynhans, Founder & CEO

In 2025, FluxCore Dynamics was founded with a bold vision: build the AI-powered platform that makes professional photonic design accessible to every engineer. We're creating the "Figma for photonics" - where you can literally draw on a napkin and get a working chip design.

Today, FluxCore Dynamics is building the platform that transforms how engineers design photonic chips - from weeks of manual work to hours of intelligent automation, featuring real-time physics simulation and AI-powered design assistance.

We're actively seeking investment partners who share our vision of democratizing photonic technology. Together, we can accelerate the future of sustainable computing.

Our Mission

Make photonic design accessible to every engineer.

We believe the next generation of computing - faster, more efficient, more sustainable - will be built on light. Our mission is to give every engineer the AI-powered tools to build it.

Our Vision

A world where photonic chips power sustainable AI.

We envision a future where photonic computing dramatically reduces AI's energy footprint, enabling more powerful and sustainable technology for everyone.

Revolutionary Technology

What We're Building

Game-changing features that transform photonic design

Real-Time Physics Simulation

Live FDTD simulation with WebGL light propagation visualization. See electromagnetic fields update in real-time as you design - like having a photonic circuit debugger.

AI Sketch-to-Circuit

Draw on a napkin, photograph it, get a working chip design. GPT-4 Vision integration recognizes photonic components and generates production-ready layouts.

What We Stand For

Our Values

The principles that guide everything we do

Innovation First

We push the boundaries of what's possible. Every day we ask: what would make photonic design 10x better?

Customer Obsession

Our engineers' success is our success. We listen deeply, respond quickly, and never stop improving.

Trust & Security

Your designs are your IP. We protect them with enterprise-grade security and complete transparency.

Global Impact

We're building tools to democratize photonic design worldwide. Technology should have no borders.

Our Commitments

Building a Better Company

Our commitment to our team, community, and planet

Career Growth & Learning

We invest heavily in developing our people. Every team member receives learning opportunities, mentorship, and dedicated time for skill development. We believe the best engineers never stop learning.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Innovation requires diverse perspectives. We actively build inclusive teams, maintain pay equity through transparent compensation, and create an environment where everyone can thrive.

Environmental Sustainability

Photonics is inherently green - chips that use light consume 90% less energy than electrical alternatives. We're building the technology that makes computing sustainable.

Social Impact

We're democratizing access to photonic design. Our mission extends beyond profit - we partner with universities and provide free tools to students and researchers worldwide.

Work-Life Balance

Sustainable pace produces better work. We offer flexible arrangements, respect personal time, and build a culture where people can do their best work without burning out.
